Pepys’ Diaries – He didn’t think anyone would read them so he doesn’t hold back. Everything from the court of Charles II, the in-fighting in the Navel Office, The plague coming to London & The Great Fire to his comical attempts to have extramarital sex and buying dirty books
Martyn’s Historie and Lives of the Kings of England – very readable and informative but not strictly factual biographies from William the Conqueror to Elizabeth I, including a lot of legend and myth as well as history.
